Senator Johnson Recovering and Other News

News from this evening:

South Dakota: Kos has a statement from Senator Johnson's office:

Admiral John Eisold, Attending Physician of the United States Capitol said, “Senator Tim Johnson has continued to have an uncomplicated post-operative course. Specifically, he has been appropriately responsive to both word and touch. No further surgical intervention has been required.”

Seemingly very positive news - let's all hope for more progress in the coming days.

Alaska: Democratic Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich's name is getting tossed around more often as a possible 2008 challenger to Republican Ted Stevens.

Colorado: Good news for Democrats: GOP leaders are urging the guy who managed George Macaca Allen's campaign to run the Colorado GOP. This has to help our chances to pick up the seat.
